Dear Sisters and Brothers, Just last night, I was in the hospital with a family who had lost a loved one. It was a heartbreaking situation to witness, and the family was obviously devastated at this loss. As I was pondering words of comfort for them, I kept thinking, “God, this just doesn’t make sense.” I believe every single one of us has been through, are living in, or will soon experience a season in life when God doesn’t seem to make sense. Why did our loved one have to die? Why did this illness happen to me? Why did we have to go through this challenge or that issue? We start Help us clean up our mailing list. to think, “Hey God, I’m a good person, I attend church, I do right by others, I read Scripture and I pray daily. Please let us know if you are receiving multiple copies or no longer wish to receive this newsletter. Where were You on that one?” Now the challenge really comes in, when we are fully aware that God is able to care for our need, but doesn’t. We may be praying that God shows up in a situation, but it doesn’t seem to be (740) 453-4192 | [email protected] happening. We have all experienced times in life where God doesn’t make sense. You may also request the email newsletter. In June, we are going to be living in a sermon series that looks at moments in our life when God doesn’t make sense. There are times when God seems inattentive. We are praying, believing, and trusting that God is going to show up, but He doesn’t show up in our time of need. John the Baptist can relate to this as one of Jesus’ greatest advocates, yet he was left to rot in prison and was eventually beheaded. There are times when God seems to be late. We needed God to do a thing in a specific time frame and yet the time for Him to act is gone and it feels like all hope is lost. I’m sure Mary and Martha could relate to that as they watched their brother, Lazarus, die when they knew Jesus (a great friend of the family) could have healed him. There are times when God seems uncooperative. We have all had something that we seem to keep stumbling on in our life, and it just feels like those things keep happening over and over again. Do you ever feel like you just can’t catch a break and wonder if, or why, God seems to be messing with you? I’m sure the apostle Paul can relate. He was shipwrecked, beaten, left for dead, wrongfully imprisoned, and had troubles and trials that just didn’t seem to go away. In fact, he described a persistent challenge in his life as a “thorn in his flesh”. There are countless examples of people in Scripture experiencing seasons of life when God doesn’t make sense. I’m looking forward to sharing this sermon series with you and opening up God’s Word together to experience the hope we have in Jesus Christ. If you are discouraged, I believe you will find God’s encouragement in this series, perhaps in a way that you haven’t felt for some time. As we look at these folks in the Bible and their real- life struggles, I pray that God builds our faith to trust in times of uncertainty. I pray He grows our belief that He has our life in His hands. I believe you have friends and neighbors who struggle with these very issues and would benefit greatly from this series. Take the opportunity to invite someone to come with you who is desperate for hope, belief, and faith in our amazing God – even when He doesn’t make sense. It is going to be a powerful month!

  • Bill Carrothers Press Pack
    605 Ridge Road Mass City, MI 49948 Bill Carrothers (906)883-3820 www.bridgeboymusic.com [email protected] Penguin Guide To Jazz on CD 8th and 9th editions (2006 and 2008) (4 star rating system) Carrothers is a class act, already endowed with a formidable breadth of experience, and able to fit in with most contemporary jazz situations. That's often a problem when it comes to helming your own dates, but these records aren't short on confidence or ideas. While the session in Go Jazz's After Hours series is a bit one- paced - a dozen ballads all negotiated at a slow walk - Carrothers lays bare the material and breaks it into pristine pieces. One to sample a few tracks at a time. It's rather better recorded than some of the entries in this series. Duets With Bill Stewart ★★★ The Duets With Bill Stewart record reduces the cast to two, although since Stewart and Carrothers have worked together many times there's no sense of anything missing. The material's a good deal more diverse in both source and treatment; not many modern pianists would think of playing Puttin' on the Ritz, here played with left hand boogie figures which pop in and out of the improvising, or The Whiffenpoof Song. Oddest piece might be I Apologize, in which Stewart rattles out a tem- poless tattoo before Carrothers enters to play the tune almost straight. A lot of the music sounds like a private dialogue, and it's hard to get inside. Swing Sing Songs ★★★1/2 Swing Sing Songs is an extraordinary programme.

  • Such Stuff Podcast Season 7, Episode 1: She's Behind You! [Music Plays
    Such Stuff podcast Season 7, Episode 1: She’s behind you! [Music plays] Imogen Greenberg: Hello and welcome to another episode of Such Stuff the podcast from Shakespeare's Globe. Now that it's officially December the festive season can truly begin. With all the promise of a new year and the renewal it brings on the horizon we wanted to spend a few weeks cosying up against the dark nights and the frosty mornings and take a look at some of the theatre and the storytelling that brings us together at this time of year. So this week on the podcast we'll be turning our attention to that great theatrical festive tradition panto. With the return of our very own festive show Christmas at the (Snow) Globe, we decided to delve into the rich history and contemporary stylings of panto in all of its many forms. So we chatted to artists and theatre-makers creating panto today, about why this convivial form is so important this year of all years. We reminisced about pantos of Christmas past and discussed the joys and the pitfalls of tradition. So stay tuned for the first of our advent offerings here on Such Stuff. [Music plays] First up Christmas at the (Snow) Globe. Last year Sandi and Jenifer Toksvig created this extraordinary festive show bespoke for the Globe Theatre to celebrate all the joyous wonders of the season. This year we're bringing it back, though with some substantial changes due to current restrictions. So we caught up with Jen and Ess Grange who was part of the company for Christmas at the (Snow) Globe last year as an audience elf, ushering the Christmas spirit into the yard, to talk about audience participation and how we're ushering the warm embrace of the Globe Theatre into people's homes this year.

    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • How Chelsee Learned to Love Budgeting
    How Chelsee learned to love budgeting [music] 0:00:01 Nicole Antoinette: I'm Nicole Antoinette, and this is Real Talk Radio, a podcast filled with honest conversations about... everything! Today's episode is part of our new series called: But How Though? Where I ask people that exact question, how? How do you get out of debt? How do you change career? How do you stop comparing yourself to people on the Internet? How do you have more fulfilling sex? Build stronger friendships, decide whether or not to have kids? Each episode of the series explores a different question like that with a different featured guest, someone who is so bravely joining me to share the ups and downs of how they've managed to close the gap between what they say they want and what they actually do. 0:00:42 NA: Speaking of the how, let's talk for a second about how this show gets made, because behind the scenes, our podcast does things pretty differently in a few ways, first, we are 100% listener funded with no ads or sponsors, and also all of our guests get paid and higher rates are always paid to our guests of color, as well as our queer and trans guests and others with traditionally marginalized identities. The funding to create this show and pay all the guests comes entirely from our Patreon community, which operates on a shame-free sliding scale that allows each community member to support from within their own means. Tons of fun stuff happens over in that community, I host live workshops, share exclusive bonus episodes and lots more, and no matter where on the sliding scale, your monthly pledge falls, you still get access to all of the same events and bonuses.

Especially not the vinegar ones. They’re bad.” Conor is standing sideways to the rows of snacks, facing the aisle that leads away from the meat section. His head is down—he’s not looking at her. He never looks at her. He’s not looking at anything except his fingers, which are opening and closing like they’re on the inside of a puppet and the puppet is talking. But the puppet is silent. It’s the motion of the hand that fascinates him, that has always fascinated him.

  • Glass Animals - Heat Waves Episode 204
    Song Exploder Glass Animals - Heat Waves Episode 204 Hrishikesh: You’re listening to Song Exploder, where musicians take apart their songs and piece by piece tell the story of how they were made. My name is Hrishikesh Hirway. (“Heat Waves” by GLASS ANIMALS) Hrishikesh: Glass Animals is a band from Oxford, England. They’ve released three albums since forming back in 2010. One of their biggest hits is the song “Heat Waves,” which came out in June 2020. It was certified gold in a bunch of countries, and platinum in Australia, where it hit #1. Dave Bayley is the singer, songwriter, and producer of the band. He won the UK’s Music Producers Guild award for “Self-Producing Artist of the Year” and he’s produced songs for other artists, too. In this episode, Dave tells the story of making “Heat Waves,” over several months. First, on his own, and then later with his bandmates, Joe Seaward, Ed Irwin-Singer, and Drew MacFarlane. Here’s Glass Animals on Song Exploder. Dave: I’m Dave from Glass Animals. (Music fades out) Dave: May 2018 is when I first started something. And I didn't feel like there was any pressure to make another Glass Animals' record. We weren't in a rush. So I was going into the studio every day, long hours, just getting crazy synths, just finding sounds. I have this like exploratory phase before actually making an album for the band, which is just me [laughter] eating lots of cereal and doing nerdy things, twisting knobs. I was in this studio complex in North London called The Church, there were some bigger artists in all the other rooms.
